Default Re: Poll: SE IV Platinum or SE V?

Not quite Fryon. Its true that it does, but the issue here is those ships are made entirely of primitives. Most of the polygons aren't visible, but probably would be rendered anyway.

Take the sloped deck of the cruiser, with the missile tubes. That's actually 16 cylinders and around 5 cubes. More are added through subtrations and such; its not exactly an efficent method.

EDIT: One big thing: the turrets are fully detailed copies of each weapon portrait, you just can't tell in some cases because I armored them. Look closely at the yellow turrets- they're PDCs.
